To conclude, the woman’s identity was Scarlett.
That’s right, there was no way two people with the same name, appearance, and even occupation could exist.
Scarlet Ruth, called Psycho Alchemist in the original work.
According to Maria, she was a fairly skilled alchemist. Although the number of floors of the tower they conquered was relatively low, they were said to have exerted influence on the transferees based on their unique alchemy.
‘Didn’t you call me crazy earlier?’
-Influence is not necessarily good.
‘Oh, that’s right.’
-With her level of skill, there would have been no problem with gold supply even if she just made and sold stamina potions and magic potions. But she was more famous for her skill in making poison than for anything else.
‘poison?’
-A poison that can harass or assassinate someone with a grudge. Maybe she was more interested in that kind of thing, but she didn’t even accept requests unless they were like that.
‘So what happened in the original?’
-The reason she appeared in the original work was because Kim Jae-yoon needed special medicine. Because of the content of the test, I needed a poison to temporarily stop my heart, so I asked her for it. This is a character who hasn’t really appeared since then.
The fact that Scarlett’s backstory did not appear in the original work probably means that nothing much happened until the main character reached the top of the tower, or that she disappeared without anyone noticing.
Personally, I don’t think either way was strange.
‘Hmm… ‘
I looked closely at Scarlett, who was sitting across from me. It wasn’t just me. Not only Janey and Jaeyoon Kim, but also Thor was staring at her.
She must have been very burdened by this kind of attention, and she kept twitching as if she was trying to sink herself into the hard wooden chair. Of course it had no effect.
As I watched, I tried to evaluate her from as objective a perspective as possible.
‘In the original, he was a crazy bitch who made and sold poison, and now he’s a crazy alchemist… ‘
Not to mention Kim Jae-yoon, although I am a Summoner by profession, I am also a close combatant. Although it has a longer range than an ordinary melee combatant due to its special abilities and martial arts, it is difficult to compare it to professions such as wizards or archers. Of course, this is when a gun is not used.
From that perspective, it was a welcome fact that a new clan member was a job that could fill in what we were currently lacking.
Since he was an alchemist, it would be difficult to expect direct combat skills when taking the test, but it would be a great help in terms of utility.
‘Even though poisons were mainly made in the original work, now all you have to do is make potions or doping drugs.’
“You want to join our clan?”
“Yes… ”
“How many floors have you conquered so far?”
“1, 1st floor only… I haven’t been able to go up to the second floor yet… The clan blocked me… ”
“Clan?”
Janey, who was watching from the side, tilted her head. Scarlett was surprised by that alone, shaking her shoulders loudly.
“Well, I was originally in a different clan… ”
“What clan did you belong to?”
“That… ”
Scarlett hesitated, glancing at us. It looked like he didn’t really want to answer, but it was something we needed to know. As Maria said, an implicit transfer fee may have to be paid.
Eventually, unable to bear our gaze, she lowered her head and answered.
“Bah, the Inglourious Basterds Clan… !”
“Inglourious Basterds Clan? I think I heard this somewhere.”
“Brother… The people we had trouble with yesterday were members of the Inglourious Basterds Clan.”
“Ah… Those guys?”
flinch!
“… … .”
Scarlett reacted by flinching when the conflict with the Inglourious Basterds Clan was mentioned. Looking at it, she seemed to know that we were not on very good terms with the Inglourious Basterds Clan.
Kim Jae-yoon, who exchanged glances with me, opened his mouth.
“Do you know that there was a conflict yesterday between the Rainmaker Clan and the Inglourious Basterds Clan?”
“Yes… ”
“But you still want to change your affiliation to us? ”
Nod~
“Why?”
“… … .”
Scarlett, who was wriggling her fingers, stuttered out her story.
She was born as a serf’s daughter and lived an unremarkable life, but she was transferred to the tower and took a test, somehow got caught up in the Inglourious Basterds Clan and became an alchemist, and even ran away while making medicine as instructed.
It wasn’t a very long story, but I could roughly understand what happened.
-I didn’t know there was a background like this…
Maria sounded regretful.
But I was more interested in other stories than that.
“About? Did those bastards sell drugs?”
-The story related to drugs is something that did not exist in the original work.
The fact that Maria doesn’t know means that it is a story that Kim Jae-yoon was not involved in in the original work. If there was such a big issue as drugs, it was clear that there would have been at least a small mention of it.
‘It seems like another clan took care of it in the beginning without anyone noticing… ‘
“That… Oh, it’s not a drug, it’s a stimulant… ”
Without even noticing that I had left my natural words, Scarlett hurriedly added.
“Stimulants?”
“Increases concentration… It has the effect of sharpening your senses… ”
“Addictiveness?”
Scarlett averted her gaze to my question.
“Jo, a little… ”
“That’s a drug.”
“Ugh… ”
Even now, he seemed to be showing a little of the psycho alchemist’s temperament.
‘I don’t remember seeing any drugs in the village… ‘
-Did they sell it that way?
“Do you know how drugs were sold?”
“That… I don’t know the details… ”
According to Scarlett, the Inglourious Basterds Clan sends new transferees with drugs to take tests, then sells the drugs to transferees from other villages they meet there.
This meant that the transferees from other villages they met during the exam were their customers. Since they don’t sell medicine in this town, it was understandable that they hadn’t been discovered by other clans until now.
I shook my head.
“What kind of idiot takes drugs during an exam?”
“What… If you want an awakening effect, there seems to be enough demand for it. There are definitely people who are afraid of the combat situation itself.”
“Ma, that’s right… ! It was originally a medicine made for that purpose… ”
Scarlett folded her hands together and nodded at Kim Jae-yoon’s words.
As I was quietly watching, I heard Maria’s voice.
-The Inglourious Basterds clan’s transfer agents have been targeted at one person, Kim Jae-yoon, so there will be a setback in their plans.
‘why?’
-Basically, the way they sell medicine is only possible with a constant supply of new clan members. The more tests you take, the higher you will be able to move up to the floor, and the higher the level you reach, the fewer cases you will have to rely on medicine to fight. In the end, it is a product that must be sold to low-rise tenants.
‘yes.’
-However, they are transferees from other villages who cannot promise to see all of their customers again as they are only doing business for the sake of a weak addiction. Even if you sell medicine, it is impossible to attract regular customers.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess so?’
-It is not an easy business to sustain for a long time in the special environment of the tower, and in such a situation, such bad news arose… Well, the situation has already ended with Scarlett, who was in charge of making the medicine, here.
When I expressed Maria’s words to Scarlett as I thought, she opened her red eyes through her hair.
“Ma, that’s right… ! Maybe that’s why he said he would close down the business soon… ”
A voice amazed at my insight. Maria’s abilities were just as good as mine, so the direction of Scarlett’s admiration was not so wrong.
-really…
I left Maria’s voice sounding like she was tired and continued asking Scarlett questions.
“Anyway, how did you escape?”
“Well, I took laxatives at night and ran away… ”
“Diarrhea medication? Where did you get that again? No… Since you said you were an alchemist, did you make it yourself?”
“Yes… ”
“Hmm… ”
I didn’t even go up to the second floor, but I can’t believe I made and used not only stimulants but also laxatives by myself.
Alchemist: I thought this was surprisingly a fraudulent job.
‘If you think about it a little, it seems like it’s a job that has a lot of different uses. Aren’t we going to make elixirs and philosopher’s stones in the future?’
-Well, first of all, none of the alchemists in the original work were able to create something like that… I don’t know either. I have a master now.
‘yes? I think it will become more useful if I take it with me and teach it some feats.’
Then, I thought I would find a way to utilize the low-level elixirs currently piled up in my inventory.
“Good, passed.”
“Yes, yes… ?”
“Welcome to become a member of the Rainmaker Clan.”
“Thank you… !”
thud!
“Aya… !”
Scarlett bent down and hit her head on the table.
I thought as I lifted the drink up so it wouldn’t fall over from the impact.
Inglourious Basterds These pathetic guys couldn’t even use Scarlett properly. In the end, didn’t he leisurely open the door and come out without any interference, and even after spraying some laxative on the food?
‘Are you Allard Schultz? What that man said was right.’
It was a waste to put all my energy into this group of idiots. These were guys who would self-destruct on their own even if you didn’t pay attention to them.
-I don’t think he said it that way…
‘It had roughly the same meaning.’
